Poem on Humanity...

This poem fetched me 3rd prize in a competition in our school :-)

தலைப்பு: மறைந்து வரும் மனிதநேயமும் இறுகிவரும் இதயங்களும்!!!

பனி நிறைந்த மலைகளிலும், கண்ணிவெடி நிறைந்த நிலங்களிலும்!
வீரர் பலரின் சொர்க்கபயணம், நமக்கு நூற்றாண்டின் இனிய பயணம்!!
மாக்கள் இரத்தம் ருசித்து பழகிய மனிதனின், மக்கள் இரத்த ஆசையின் நிறைவோ?
மருத்துவமனையில் வெடி வைத்து மனமகிழ்ச்சி அடையும் மனிதநேயம்!!


முல்லைக்கு தேர் தந்தவனும், புறாவிற்கு தசை தந்தவனும்..
மூச்சிழந்து பெருந் தூக்கம் தூங்குவது மனிதநேய நிறைவுடனோ?!
மனிதன் இன்று அடையும் பௌர்ணமி இன்பம் - நாளை
முதல் தேய்ப்பிறையை, தொடர்ந்து அம்மாவாசை என்பதின் முன்னெச்சரிக்கயோ?!


குணம் படைத்தவன் வேதனைப்படுகிறான் பணத்தின் தேடலால்
பணம் படைத்தவன் வேதனைப்படுகிறான் நிம்மதியின் தேவையால்!!
இரவில் சூரியனோ குணமும் பணமும் ஒருவரிடம் சேர்வது?!


இதயம் இடம்மாறி நடந்த திருமணங்கள், குணம் மாறி
பணம் இடம்மாறி நடக்கும் திருமணம் ஆகிவிட்டது


நிம்மதியைப் போதை பொருள்களில் தேடுகிறான் மனிதன்
திறமையைக் குண்டு வைப்பதில் தேற்றுகிறான் மனிதன்
தன்மானத்தை தலைகளைச் சாய்ப்பதில் நிலைநிருத்துகிறான் மனிதன்
மனிதநேயத்தை ஆழ்கடலில் மூழ்கடித்துவிட்டான் மனிதன்!


எதுகை மோனையும் நயம்பட பாடினான் மனிதநேயத்தை பாரதி
எடுத்துக்காட்டாக நினைக்காமல் பத்திரப்படுத்தினோம் அலமாரியில் புத்தகமாக
முற்செடியில் ரோஜா வளர்வது முற்செடிக்கு சிறப்பு சான்றோர் கூற்று
மனித ரோஜாவிடம் ஆணவ, ஆதிக்க, சுயநல முட்கள் முளைப்பது சிறப்போ?


மாறுமோ இந்தநிலை? மாற்றம் தான் கொண்டுவர முடியுமோ??
எத்தனையோ விடைத்தெரியாத கேள்விக்குறிகள் அவற்றில் இவையும் சில?!


I tried to make close translation to English & here it is...


Title: Crumbling Humanity & Hardening Hearts!!!

In snow filled mountains & land mines filled field!
With brave soldiers funeral journey, we are sailing happily in the new millennium!!
After tasting animal bloods, is it people's dream to taste human blood?
Now humanity is feeling happy planting bombs in hospitals.

Here lived the people who gave chariot to jasmine & gave his own flesh for pigeon..
Did they sleeping permanently as they are satisfied with humanity?!
Today's full moon's brightness may be a warning that starting tomorrow
it's going to be decline & subsequently new moon day with full of dark.

Good Human is worrying in search of money
People with money is worrying in need of peace!!
Is it like seeing sun in Night that same person have both money & humanity?!

Marriages which happened by exchanging hearts lost its property
Now marriages happening by exchanging money...

People searching peacefulness through drugs
People improving their talents by planting bombs
People establishing self-dominance by killing people
People buried the humanity well under the ocean.

Bharathiyar sang about humanity rhythmically
Instead of using it we safeguarded in cupboard
It's great to have a rose in a thorn tree but
Does having Egoism, Dominance & selfishness prickles is good to humanity rose?

Will this state change? Is it possible to bring a change??
These are few questions among the whole lot of questions to which we don't know the answers?!

Be safe online!!

Recent phishing & malware attacks faced by some of my friends provoked me to write this small self help article.

1. If you are visiting a website please ensure that you are visiting the correct URL. Many times we will get spoofed by Typosquatting
For example if you type http://gogle.com it will take you to http://google.com, but not all the providers are google to acquire all possible combination of domain names.


2. Beware of phishing. Most of the phish sites will be start with the domain name similar to the original sites. If you look carefully at the URL in the address bar the last part of the domain is important.
For example http://ebay.cgi-bin.tru.co this URL starts with ebay which is the sub-domain of main domain tru.co which is not an original ebay website. The web page might look exactly like ebay page but it's a phish site.

Mostly bank sites, paypal, ebay were targeted by phishers previously but these days even common mail sites, social networking sites are also being targeted.

If you suspect a site as phish you can verify it's authenticity by searching at http://phishtank.com If the URL that you searched was not available there you can submit it for analysis. There is also Anti Phishing Work Group & you can post the URL's there too. http://www.antiphishing.org/


3. Never click a link sent from an unknown user in an email or IM. Sometimes the from address will look like the original bank email ID.


4. And none of the bank will ask for your Debit card number & pin while logging in to their website so never give out that.


5. Always check whether the banking sites uses https instead of http. https is a secured protocol commonly used by all authenticated bank/company. Previously GMail offered https as a optional service now it converted it as a default service for all the users. While using https it might be little slow but it's always secured. Many websites we uses http by default & they may also have an optional https service.

For example meebo.com always points to http by default. If you key in https://meebo.com it will get into secured page.


6. Never have a common password for all the sites like mail, social networking, banks etc.


7. And always have password length greater than 8 characters & it should contains capital letter, small letter, number & special character. Which makes it strong & difficult to break it using brute force attack.


8. Never save all your passwords anywhere like writing it down or saving it as draft in mails.


9. Always clear cookies & cache of browser after accessing the bank sites. The following link contains the step by step instruction to clear cache/cookies in different browsers.

10. If you doubt whether any of the sites may harm your computer by infecting it with malware/spyware/virus. There are various services available to check the authenticity of a website. Key in the URL & check whether the site is good or bad.

http://safeweb.norton.com
http://siteadvisor.com
http://www.mywot.com/

Google too have it's own analysis engine which shows "May harm ur computer" when it detects the URL produced by the search result is harm. But none of the service give you a 100% guarantee because internet world is huge & rapid, there are high possibility that the website owner can change the content after the site got scanned.

It's always best for us to keep our steps cautiously...

Hope this will help atleast very little...
